It’s so simple to understand and just has all the layers of taskmaster. Lateral thinking brilliance mixed with inane frustration at sincere attempts.

Belvidere 30 – Yesterdays Image from Library of Virginia, 1965 Richmond Esthetic Survey and Historic Building Survey.

I mapped a whole collection of Oregon Hill from the 1960s and could not figure out what church was in the background of this picture yesterdays.maprva.org/224/

Once I did, the pic of the fire was one of the first related images I could find. More info here: www.oregonhill.net/2012/01/21/l...

Richmond Country Club – Yesterdays Image from Virginia Commonwealth University, Rarely Seen Richmond.

We take our maps pretty seriously 🧐

This one was included in a Richmond collection... just not the right Richmond yesterdays.maprva.org/16610/

This was also included, but it's Richfield Springs, NY, not Richmond, VA yesterdays.maprva.org/32972/

And there's this one yesterdays.maprva.org/32922/

Have you seen the pic from this same spot/time looking the other direction? One of a raft of (presumably civil rights-related) arsons on Richmond churches in the 1960s.
